    what is your nationality?

    "Nationality" in Israel means something different. Like, what if our IDs said Latino, Asian, Indian or whatever? All of them have Israeli citizenship. An Israeli passport is an Israeli passport. But they have national ID cards that they carry at all times. Sometimes Jews are restricted from...

    Candidates make pledges all the time - to environmentalists, to gay rights groups, to pro choice groups...I'm glad Bachmann made a pledge. Now we have proof of how crazy she is.

    Maybe if you get out in the world, you'll realize that life is global. Well, probably not.

    what is your nationality?

    Israel recognizes citizenship. That's noted on the card - if they're citizens and have Israeli passports, or if they have a different ID card form the Palestinian Authority or whatever. Israel does NOT call "Israeli" a nationality. It is the only Western country in the world that does this...

    what is your nationality?

    Israel used to have your religious or ethnic status in place for nationality. It was kind of a left over idea from the early periods, so you could be born in Israel with citizenship but it would say "Druze". If you were Jewish, it would say "Jew". But then the right wing Orthodox started...

    Oh, like when Sarkozy was Pres and had a mistress (or two) on the side? What? Villepin wasn't a religious nutcase, either... It doesn't matter. Anyone who opens up the papers on a regular basis would know that religion is sour topic in France.

    CSign, don't listen to him. English is his first language, but he chooses to be that way.

    Yeah, that was back in the day where people still developed their film. I mentioned in the other thread re: universal sign the language issues with my French Jewish boyfriend. But this is Jiro I'm talking to, so I probably can't take you seriously.

    what is your nationality?

    I'm an American. My new Israeli ID card will say "not listed" because I don't believe in Israel's revived policy of equating Jewishness with nationality. Israel doesn't list 'Israeli' on their ID cards. They list country of origin (eg, Aermenian or something) or "Jew". You can't just put...

    children 6 and under banned from resturant

    Civil rights of small children? Phooey. Where did we get the idea that no one can do anything that may offend or bother you? It's a restaurant, and they reserve the right to refuse service to children six and under. It's no different than a local theatre banning kids under six.

    Handicapped vs. Handicapable

    That's your dad's opinion. Hawking chooses to not live in that mentality. You should read his story. It's amazing...not to mention I really appreciate the guy's contribution to academics.

    Colorism: An ignored aspect of racism.

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say. No, I have never been in a welfare office waiting. But no, it would not make sense that black welfare staff would not give white women benefits. It's a matter of income, not race. I'm sorry. I don't know what you are talking about. eta: I'm not sure I...
